Sorry! Too late... http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=289137 I plan to change the pump oil, and I haven't opened the valve yet. I will be today. I wanted to wait until the cylinder acclimated to my garage climate as well as give time for any moisture to re-settle on the bottom...

Thanks for the replies. So the compressor oil is specific for compressor applications? I was reading the 1996 parts book for this compressor I found a PDF for online, and it looked like the Quincy oil came in different container sizes and different weights: 10, 20, and 30w. I was thinking it was...

Here is another angle at the wiring as well. The white wire from the motor is connected behind that top screw.

Yes. I just realized I forgot to take that pic after I wiped the dust off the label! Be right back... P.S. - I know it is 230v single phase...

Hey guys. I bought that QT-5 that I was looking at a few days ago. It's home and I'm getting it "hooked up". I got it wiped down and I added an outlet for it off of my garage panel. I bought a "whip" for a dryer plug so I can plug it in. My question is, how do I wire the 2 power feeds? The...

I bought the Quincy. Got it for $900, which isn't a bargain, but not bad either. This thing is pretty clean. I'm going to start a new thread regarding questions I have. This is my first compressor for myself.

Very good point. At least I'm not getting the "that price is a total rip off" comments. Thank you all for your comments. I will post up what I decide or if I find another good candidate today.

So I've been in contact with the QT-5 owner. He is selling it for the church, so he doesn't have much negotiating space. He told me they turned down an offer of $950 already. He was told $1,000 is the lowest they will accept. What do you guys think? I think I wish the Fargo Air was a stand...

Thanks for the quick reply and great information. Based on your info and the distance from my house of each compressor, I'm not going to consider the IR, and will take a shot at the Quincy. I think my only bargaining chip is that the compressor may have low hours, but it's still 20 years old and...

Hey guys. I'm in the market for an air compressor for my home garage. I do side jobs on cars and work on my own vehicles, snowmobiles, etc. I have the occasion to use die grinders, air hammers, etc. besides the typical 1/2" impact and 3/8" air ratchet. I found a few compressors for sale...

Thank you. I will take apart the red one and take pictures of the "problem" area. Maybe I can McGyver a solution. When I get time I will take apart the grey one and measure the seals/orings.

Yeah I wish I would've known/researched before I bought the red one. The other jack is one at my work.

Sorry I forgot I didn't post the straight up view of the jacks with the model numbers. Newer red jack: 50239 Older grey jack: 875.501152 FYI I did peruse the sticky thread, but that doesn't exactly help with the specific questions I had. I appreciate the help!

You mean a tool for installing the yellow spring in your picture? Have you tried vise grips?

Hey guys! This is my first post, hopefully of many! I will save an intro of me, my background, and my garage for another thread, but for now I have a few urgent questions. I have an aluminum craftsman jack that lasted about 1 1/2 years before starting to sink. NO external leaks. I took it...
